Issue: Improper use of your report
Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly
Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to formally dispute the information contained in my consumer report, as provided by your agency. After a thorough review of my report, I have discovered that undisclosed personal information about me has been shared with a non-affiliated third party without my explicit written consent. This discovery raises serious concerns as it appears to be a violation of the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I understand that I have the right to be informed about and control the disclosure of my personal information. The disclosure to a non-affiliated third party without affording me the opportunity to opt-out, as mandated by law, is a direct infringement on my privacy rights. Upon meticulous examination of the report, I observed that specific accounts are being reported without my explicit written consent. It is essential to clarify that my dispute is not with the creditor but with your reporting agency for disseminating and reporting information without proper authorization. I specifically refer to 15 USC 1681b - Permissible Purpose, which mandates a consumer 's written consent for the reporting of personal information. As of now, I have not provided such written consent, and I request documentation to substantiate my consent, thereby ensuring compliance with this legal requirement. Failure to provide evidence of my consent could be interpreted as a violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter, and the reference number for my complaint is XXXX. I am under the belief that the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information may constitute a violation under 18 USC 1028a, potentially constituting identity theft. In accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2, I formally request the removal of the following accounts from my consumer report within four business days from the date of this letter : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 Account Type : Credit card I emphasize my right to a fair and accurate credit reporting process, and the swift removal of these accounts is crucial to rectifying the reported inaccuracies. Furthermore, I request documentation regarding your method of verification for the disputed accounts and records showing proof of my option to opt out of the information being reported in my consumer report. This will ensure that your reporting agency adheres to the necessary standards for accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and the resolution of my dispute within the specified timeframe of four business days. Non-compliance with the provisions of the FCRA may result in further legal action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Consumer Complaint: In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I told Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to reinvestigate these accounts : Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name # XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Consumer Complaint: Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Consumer Complaint: 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, Experian XXXX XXXX is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, Experian, XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
